Can no longer unstack photos in LrC

Question

In an LrC library I created today, I can create stacked photos by editing NEF files with the ON1 NoNoise AI 2023 plugin, but those stacked DNG and PSD files are inaccessible behind the original NEF photo in Lightroom Classic (Build 202212072312-d7ab524b, MacOS 13.1; iMac and Adobe Master Collection are all up-to-date). The catalog (named Lightroom2022) I worked in last year behaves properly (clicking on the 1of2 badge expands/collapses the stack), but the catalog I created today (named Lightroom2023) refuses to show anything in stacks but the original Nikon NEF raw image. The DNG and PSD files were written correctly to the folder with the other images.

Hovering over the stack badge changes it from "2" to "1of2" (or "4 vs "1of4" in an earlier test I did with 4 stacked images), but as soon as I mouse away, the badge returns to "2" or "4". When I had 4 stacked images, there was never an indication that "2" or "3" existed.

I've tried everything mentioned in other posts--playing with view options, resetting LrC preferences and restarting, deleting the catalog and all photo assets from disk and reimporting from CFExpress card (twice!).

Any thoughts? It feels like a bug to me. Thank you!

SOLVED my problem! In the Navigator panel, I had "Catalog = Previous Import" selected rather than "Folder = 01-January".  This casued LrC to tell me that there were stacked images, but it refused to show them to me because they weren't part of the camera import. I guess I should have worked on this for 3 hours before posting, rather than 2.5.  Hopefully this helps someone else. Screen grab attached.

You have a vew filter active - a named one, evident in the lower right of the screenshot. Could it be that this filter is concealing some of the image versions concerned - e.g., due to their file types?
